HACC on Mudra's postponement request: hearing to recess until Aug. 24 after prosecutor's remarks

The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has temporarily adjourned its hearing after former Presidential Office deputy head Iryna Mudra requested a postponement due to worsening health. Mudra, who is currently attending the HACC session in person, stated that she will not avoid or delay the hearing. She expressed a willingness to assist the investigation and court's consideration of her motion, but requested additional time due to her health condition.

The prosecutor's remarks will be heard before the hearing resumes at 3:00 p.m. on August 24. Mudra's defense had previously criticized the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office's (SAPO) for publishing video materials about the case, alleging that it created a narrative of guilt and violated the presumption of innocence.
